No. 30 Friday, July 26, 1929 Garvey Begins Organizational Work CONSIDERABLY surprised, somewhat bewildered but made more ambitious by what he had seen in his tour of 38 states, Marcus Garvey returned with high resolve to New York City, determined to make a big splash in the pool of Negro-American affairs. He had taken upon his shoulders a very large task. Unknown and without any influence whatever, he came back to the great metropolis to begin organizing his world-wide movement. And yet the task was not so difficult when one considers the spirit of the times and the economic conditions then existing. The war was at its height. There was no unemployment in the country, thanks to the billions of dollars of war orders from abroad. And naturally, considering the shortage of labor, every man and woman not at the front could easily get work at high wages. Sociologists know it to be axiomatic that people become more restless and susceptible to change when their wages are increasing than when their wages are decreasing. Among Negroes, where conservatism had ruled the masses for two score years, there was for the first time plenty of money. They were working almost everywhere and hardly anyone was getting less than eight dollars a day. This was quite different from the two, three and four dollars a day to which they had grown accustomed in the lean years before the war in the South from whence most of them in New York and other Northern and Eastern cities had come. It put the black people in possession of a surplus, not because eight or ten dollars a day was more than a human being needed to live on but because it was more than the average Negro was accustomed to get to live on. Golden Era of Agitation Thus, all Negro organizations increased their membership by leaps and bounds and Negro newspapers and magazines grew tremendously in circulation. The Chicago Defender went to over a hundred thousand, the Crisis had 100,000, a figure it had never reached before and hasn't reached again. The Messenger, a magazine preaching a new philosophy of scientific radicalism to Negroes, leaped to a circulation of 35,000. Other Negro publications had proportionate boosts in sales. New ones sprang up on every hand and flourished like green bay leaves for a season. On the streets of Harlem appeared for the first time a swarm of street speakers lecturing on everything from socialism to lumbago and from astronomy to patriotism. Every night they were surrounded by eager crowds of workingmen and women, fat with wages and correspondingly liberal, who coughed up coin with great readiness whenever asked, and listened with rapt attention to what the soapboxers were saying. It mattered not that in the majority of instances the soapboxers themselves didn't know what they were talking about and that the spectators understood less what it was all about. They were speaking and the crowd was listening. Wonderful new-found freedom! Precious free speech! The thrill of being revolutionary and listening to incendiary talk! The bumptiousness and arrogance that comes to little people when they suddenly find themselves with a big surplus of cash! Garvey Becomes a Soapboxer Marcus Garvey saw his opportunity to make money and get a following. He jumped into the game to grab a quick stake and get started on his career. Endowed with a stentorian voice and able to out-yell anybody within a radius of two or three blocks, he found no difficulty in getting crowds. An escaped inmate of an insane asylum could have drawn a crowd about him on one of those Harlem corners in those days. Night after night Garvey barked his message from soapboxes in black Harlem. The coin began to roll in and his confidence grew with his bankroll. At first he got in with a group of other young fellows, vitally interested in doing something constructive for the race, but they wanted to do it right in New York and they either wanted to turn Harlem socialisic or organize the Negro politically to capture the other party organizations. That didn't please Garvey. He couldn't be fooling with little local issues when, as he supposed, 400 million Negroes all over the world were waiting for him to organize them and emancipate them from white control. He wanted his movement to be for all the Negroes of the world instead of for those in New York or any particular locality. What made and makes Marcus Garvey such a spectacular and at the same time pathetic figure is this overwhelming desire to do everything on a Napoleonic scale, regardless of ability or resources and with little thought of obstacles. He is of the type that with supreme confidence will try to raze Mount Everest with a pickaxe, and Marcus Garvey: An Analysis By SAMUEL I. BROOKS then blame the machinations and conspiracies of his enemies for his failure to do so. Garvey's Meglomania So the energetic Marcus cut loose from many people who might have enabled his movement to become the success he wanted it to be. He started out by himself, relying on his own meagre knowledge, judgment and intelligence. It is this insatiable desire to be the head, middle and tail of everything he starts, that accounts for Marcus Garvey's tremendous and frequently laughable failures. He is of the type that is so anxious to be the big boss that it will not take sound advice of or counsel with those who have superior knowledge of a given situation. True, he will listen to people's criticism, but then, regardless of its soundness will go right ahead and calmly ignore everything he has been told. As a result of this lack of real executive power his footsteps have been dogged by failure. Because of this meglomania, he surrounded himself with people who were as ignorant and incompetent as he, so he would have as little opposition and as much agreement as possible. Whenever he got a subordinate who possessed real ability and knowledge Garvey immediately proceeded to ignore or humillate him. The chief trouble with Marcus Garvey Dreamed Dreams Was it a conquest of that Empire on the "Dark Continent" with its 400,000,000 humans and untold wealth? Was it selfish exploitation? HARLEM'S TEEMING RACE POPULACE eagerly awaits every new chapter of this "Month's Best Story" ORDER COPIES IN ADVANCE! Garvey is and always has been that he cannot see the trees for the forest; he cannot see the means for the end, nor does he seem to realize that without the trees there would be no forest and without the means no end can be attained. At any rate he broke with some people who might have been of considerable value to him: honest and able men interested—unlike those he did get—in something other than their salaries. The West Indian Factor There was one factor that worked both for and against Marcus Garvey: the British West Indian population in Harlem. Being himself one of them, it was only natural that sectional pride should assert itself. There was at the time, had been and continued for some years afterwards, a considerable prejudice of American Negroes against British West Indians and vice versa. This was apparent at work, in society and in clubs, fraternities and churches. The two peoples were and are of different cultures, though speaking the same language. Each group believes itself superior to the other, and even today some antipathy is apparent between them. This is unfortunate but it is true, nevertheless. It was natural, then, that the British West Indians should be the first to rush to the standard of Marcus Garvey. Here was one of their countrymen starting a new and wonderful movement of which they thought no American Negro had ever thought. It was wonderful, thrilling! They would show these damn American Negroes what British West Indians could do! Unreservedly we sponsor "Harlem" for Harlemites—Co-operate now in the business world before it is too late.

No. 30 Friday, July 26, 1929 National Work The Beginning Opposition The American Negroes on the other hand, specifically the New Yorkers, reacted to this trend by calling the Universal Negro Improvement Association a West Indian movement, which was certainly true in New York City, in Boston and, to a certain extent, in Philadelphia. This schism was one of the contributory causes of the spectacular failures of the U. N. I. A. But at the time Garvey was glad to get members from any source. Members and donations were his only source of revenue, and a man must eat if he is going to save 400 million Negroes. Having had a measure of success, Garvey then turned his attention to more virgin fields. The wave of war-time prosperity had spread all over Aframerica. Negroes everywhere had plenty of cash in their jeans and were eager to join anything that came along, especially if that something promised them an empire in Africa where they could be their own boss and kick white folks around as they had for centuries wanted to do. And so Garvey had little difficulty in organizing 30 branches throughout the country. He had never believed it possible to make money so easily. He had a clear field and was practically without opposition except in his own fertile imagination. Only a few individuals and publications had the temerity to come out openly and denounce the movement. The Negro World One of the elements in his successful organizational work was the Negro World, a weekly propaganda sheet that started publication in the winter of 1918-19. It was different from any Negro newspaper that had previously appeared, in that it made little pretense of carrying news, but devoted almost its entire space to Marcus Garvey's opinions, accounts of the meetings he held and reproductions of eulogistic letters from all points of the compass. The first page always was and still is devoted entirely to a blast from Marcus Garvey in which he consistently displays all of the optimism, braggadocio, pompousness and ignorance of the fundamentals for which he has become well-known. Nevertheless, the Negro World was admirable for its purpose, which unquestionably was to rouse the masses, shake loose the dollars from them and swell the membership of the U. N. I. A. This it succeeded in doing, though not to the extent that some people believe. It introduced an innovation to Negro journalism when it began to carry sections in French and Spanish, and print news items from all parts of the Negro world. It was the first international Negro newspaper, and to a large extent still is. The other Negro newspapers, narrowly provincial, have absolutely slept their opportunity to do the same thing. Despite the tremendous interest of Negroes here in the United States in the doings of Negroes in Africa. West Indies, South America and elsewhere, newspapers presumably with money like the Chicago Defender, the Pittsburgh Courier, the Baltimore Afro-American, and many others that are supposedly paying propositions, have absolutely ignored the international field, except to chronicle the clownings of Negro actors in Paris and London, and to clip a few items about Africa from the white press Peculiar Business Policies But while the Negro World was and is unique, Garvey's business dealings in connection with it were more unique. In the first place, and despite all of his talk about Negroes doing things for themselves the Negro World always has been printed by a white firm, which, we may suppose, has made scores of thousands of dollars out of Negroes. All of that time the New York Age press, owned by Negroes, was only a block away. In the next place Garvey once bought a press belonging to the Bee Publishing Company, and although he was supposed to know something about printing and printing machinery, he was so ignorant of both that he permitted himself to be sold a press that wouldn't run! (Note: Next week Mr. Brooks will tell of the founding of the Black Star Line, Inc., the acquirement of its first ship and the "persecution" of Garvey by the District Attorney's office.—Editor.)

Both girls were members of Ziegfeld’s spectacular production, “Show Boat,’ and both were rather beautiful girls. But wilike Miss Williams, Mrs. Bain made a gallant effort to carry on—to be with her friends, to enjoy life and make others happy with her winsome smile. Life meant so much and she bravely fought against the inevitable and “Death.” On the other hand, Lulu Williams, tired of life, shocked her friends in and out of the theatrical world by taking her owm life, by inhaling illuminating gas. She made the most elaborate arrangements for her own destruction. First she put the cat and bird out of the kitchen. Next she arranged her resting place upon the floor near the stove and then made certain that every possible crevice where the gas might scape, was well plugged and turning on the gas of the stove, quietly laid down to pass into the “Great Unknown.” 2g a FMS sume} Bp rages Sy Ne ae i A y ae ae Call A ae pee 63 Sag Bee es eg 3 Beene aes . ag Pe 7 BE a ee oe o£ . ae os 5 : Little VIVIAN BAIN, whose picture ts at the right, died last Saturday night after an illness of about six weeks.

Blue because we parted, blue and broken hearted—Blue 'cause we can't get the one we want—those we get we don't want, sweeties we long for never are strong for us. Blue—'cause the pal that we loved stole the gal that we loved and took all our sunshine and joy, and our sweetie went away and she didn't say when, and didn't say where, she didn't say why, nor tell us goodby, and we're as blue as can be. We're just like an old glove that's faded and worn, cast aside and we're heartsick and sore. We're all by ourself every morning, all by ourself every night, all by ourself in a cozy morris chair, so unhappy there, playing solitaire. We get so blue through and through when the leaves come a-tumbling down through the trees, down in the breeze.

P. S., Eng. In the last issue, I outlined the differentiation between Fixed and Volatile Oils, and gave an example of a Fixed Oil. In this, I will illustrate by example a Volatile Oil. Oleum Menthae Piperitae (Peppermint Oil). Description: This is a clear, colorless, pale yellow or greenish yellow oily liquid, possessing a peculiar aromatic and refreshing odor (smell), and a characteristic taste, subsequently producing a coldness sensation in the mouth. It is distilled from the fresh flowering peppermint Mentha Piperita "Linne" and rectified if necessary. The chief constituent being menthol which represents about 50 per cent. Habitat: Peppermint plant is a native of Europe, but is naturalized in the United States, and grows in low wet soil, along brooks, meadows and rivers. It is a perennial herb and bears purplish flowers in the axils of leaves, and in the terminal spikes.

Phone: University 2835 For Appointments THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Medical Notes By KELLY MILLER, J.D. SYPHILIS is the cause of paresis or general paralysis which has many physical symptoms in its primary stage. The loss of the light reflex is the most outstanindg. The eye can accommodate itself, and distant and near objects can be seen. But, on the other hand the eye does not react to light. If the eye is open and a lighted match or electric bulb be brought in front of the eye, the eye re- ```markdown ``` mains open and there is no winking. This light reflex is one of the most valuable diagnostic signs of beginning paresis, in the absence of locomotor ataxia, as it frequently occurs very early. There may be a loss of the sympathetic reflex, that is, by rubbing the finger over the back of the neck, there is a dilation of the pupil of the eye. There may be twitching and tremors of the muscles of the face, particularly of those about the mouth and tongue. Premors of the hand and arm seriously interfere with writing; tremor of the lips and tongue renders the speech thick, blurred, and hesitating, and syllables are omitted from words, or even whole words lost from sentences. The gait may be ataxic and failure of muscular coordination. These physical symptoms may be easily detected and quite often people are seen walking the streets presenting this picture. A physical examination at least once or twice a year should be taken by every sensible person. Consult your physician. Professional Announcement Tel.

While weak in spots, and not functioning any too smoothly when we reviewed it Monday, the production is very entertaining and amusing. But Fletcher Henderson and his crack orchestra will be found worth more than the small admission price. Then there's Sidney Easton and Bert Howell, the Two Dancing Dots, Vincent Youman's "Great Day" singers, Otis Blair and Harrison Blackburn, not to mention William Edmondson, Rosa White, Lillian Goode, Homer Tutt.

"Strivers Row" presents two types of Harlem's folks living in the "Exclusive" section of our Harlem. A West Indian family moves into this section and then the trouble and fun begin.

But later on Miss Goode does not register so well. She has pleasing mannerisms and makes a pretty stage picture but her singing is just ordinary, nothing to rave about. Easton and Howell create a riot in their skit, with Easton at the miniature piano and Howell handling the violin and the uke as well as chirping. Otis Blair in his own version of "Snake-Hip" dancing. Mabel Gary tries to imitate the incomparable Ethel Waters. Rosa White as usual does a mean piece of talking (get away, get away), and the same is true of Bertha Roe. But the outstanding feature, aside from the Henderson orchestra and rivaling the team of Easton and Howell, are the "Two Dancing Dots." These boys do a mean piece of hoofing and that critical Monday night audience applauded them as seldom before. And in addition to this big program, there is the photoplay, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, taken from the famous novel of that name. An excellent cast is featured in this thrilling story. At The Alhambra The Alhambra Theatre's threein-one program played to a capacity house last Monday and the audience seemed to highly enjoy the combination to a very marked degree. The musical comedy found Madam Sherry, oh, er, pardon, no harm meant; it's Miss Grace Rector strutting her 200 additional pounds in a way that should please you. Yes, the Grace is back with us again here in Harlem and, after all, there's only one Harlem for her grace. Then there's the Louis (Putney) Dandridge and that music box with the Putney on the stool. Yes, the audience gave Mr. Dandridge a royal ovation as the curtain sped upward, disclosing the young man to an eager audience. Putney chirped his old favorite, "Falling For Some One Like You" and at the conclusion, was given another and an even warmer ovation. Johnny Lee Long and Dewey Markham, aided and abetted by Messrs. Tom Moseley and Hayes Pryor, furnished a fighting bit of comedy, and Bessie Wrightson tried to sing a selection she either forgot or had failed to memorize; then again, it might have been the fault of the orchestra. Anyway, --- Bessie went flat and so did the number. The sixteen Alhambra girls have evaporated to twelve but Amanda Randolph is Amanda Randolph and so far there's little danger of her shrinking to anything less. The dramatic sketch, "Bad Money," is almost as bad as a sketch. But then what can you expect for fifty cents? The outstanding stars of the drama this week are Teddy Blackmon and Margie Bournerville (gee, whatever name), and the comedians would do well to learn by watching the efforts of these two. They furnished the only real comedy of the program. This Margie, the little gal that could not remember, is a promising kid and we would like to see her given real training. The kid is natural. Others in the cast are, Edna Barr, Tom Moseley, Hayes Pryor, Bessie Wrightson and Al Watts.

The Savoy Baitroom which has been operating in Harlem for over three and one-half years and which has acquired the good will of the community because of its excellent and efficient service rendered to the public, assures us of the fact that the Alhambra Ballroom under the same management will be a very helpful institution in Harlem's social life. The Alhambra, unlike the Savoy, will cater exclusively to social clubs and organizations renting the ballroom for their exclusive use, but also furnishing for them all necessary needs for holding their dances. Because of the operation of both ballrooms it is very Harlem's Co LAMERICAS LEADING LAFAY THE INTER-STATE TATTLE obvious that the Alhambra will be rented for at least $100 less than any place in the City of New York. It will be possible for the management to have under its control at all times three or four of the finest orchestras in America, enabling them to give to the club or organization securing the ballroom the best music available. THE NEW YORKER The Alhambra Ballroom which is one of the most modern dance palaces in New York excels in beauty and luxury any of Harlem's ballrooms. There is a beautiful stage, excellent accommodations such as dressing rooms, motion picture machines, spotlights, etc., for organizations running pageants, fashion shows, or vaudeville performances or any other activity they may desire to feature at their annual ball. At the present time extensive decorations and alterations are under way to make the place one of Harlem's finest. It has been rumored that the place will be ready and in operation by August 31st and extensive plans are being made for showing to the Harlem public their new and beautiful residences.

His head is normal. As a composer, blues are his life. When Handy writes a blues number, all of Handy goes into it. The words are his. Read "The Chicago Gouge." His many-sided experience cast lights and shades of meaning over the blues. Don't forget the sound musicianship he had classically. He doesn't fall into the musical pitfalls that mark lesser men's work. The tune, the rhythm, the orchestration—all are his and all are racial. To this day they remain—and consequently all blues remain—in the twelve bars that the rigidly formal custom gave them though he would have made thousands hard he recast the "Memphis Blues" in sixteen. His is a great business ability, not only on the broad scale, but in minute details as well. The man is full of energy though he must be somewhere in his fifties. He often smiles. He gets a kick out of life. It amuses him when the sharks of Broadway try to fleece him. While the race is justly proud of Dr Priest, sole Negro member of Congress, the race will likewise feel pride knowing that Handy enjoys the distinction of being the sole Negro member of the Music Publishers' Protective Association, the strongest organization of its kind in the world. Through his connection with another group, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, also his foreign representatives in Europe, South America and Australia, he is receiving valuable contracts out of radio and sound picture rights. The "St. Louis Blues," his masterpiece, has had more recordings than any other composition of any kind. Before the blues, there were three photograph companies. With Handy and the new music, a dozen sprang into life; hard hands gave employment to thousands of Negro artists made recordings. He has edited an anthology. "Blues," in an exceedingly scholarly style. It is the most illuminating book on the subject of American music, with an introduction by Abbé Niles, published by A. & C. Pont, illustrated by Covarubia. So much for the man and his work in life. But what about that work's influence? Sirh men as Auric, Homegger, Wilhelm, Wiener, Krenek, the great author, the greater Stravinsky, Richard Strauss, the master, are a hedge podge of people better known in Europe than in America. They write symphonic poems, operas. But even these men were so inspired by what they board in the truly racial and native American songs and dances that new pigment found its way to their earliest galleries; the blues. The white American composer, however, is more truly represented by his work in musical comedy as well as popular songs and dances than in those longer, more serious forms. These songs and dances are a decadent form of the original blues. Governed by the requirements of ballrooms, picture palaces, and Broadway, they are played in the most refined scharazine style, with an empty precision in place of real rhythm and spontaneity, with almost sixteen bars in place of twelve. Thus the dark of the white American composer are dealt to this rhythm and spontaneity, and he isCellular to the sample of feeling all the way from the birthfairer to the "hat," which dis- linguishes the blues and encloses all of Europe. Only one color is known on the white American palette; it isn't true blue, it is an adulterated Allen Blue. Now the blues have a definite form, based on rhythm. Even in a literary sense the instinct for inner form is obvious. Thus these few lines, simple and beautiful: I hate to see De ev'nin' sun go down Hate to see De ev'nin' sun go down Cause my baby He done lef dis town. . . Any European adaptation, especially when interpreted by the conventional orchestra, departs from the definite form of the blues. The music of the white American Composer, psychologically silent, is even further removed from its own original source, the blues. As the "Father of the Blues," Handy made those music laws now obeyed by the best Composers of every race. He is a musical De Priest. Somehow it all reminds me of that young woman I met in Harlem. She was a medical student, and happened to belong to the intelligentsia of her race. She no doubt had great respect for Spirituals, no greater than have I. She had heard they are a great philosophical, brooding music, an Aframerican invention of polyphony. Indeed they are. But--she did not like Blues. Blues were too ripe with the essentials of quick life and rich rhythms and the broad humanity of masses of people; in the world's music, Blues have an importance for their rhythm and the things their tunes say. Blues have a contemporaneousness, have all fine qualities that those who are neither mature nor married and who spend their time in the cold regions of Kantian philosophy, are too prone to forget. In short, she was so un-American she had to ask me the name of the piece the band was playing. "The St. Louis Blues," I replied; and added, a bit as a pedant would, by W. C. Handy." "Oh," she said disdainfully, "the blues man." "Yes," I asserted, trying to find the words to describe to myself her tone. "The Blues Man! . . . As I see it, Handy and Richard strauss share two things alike. The first is a straggly, grey mountain tache. The second is greatness.

Address all communications for this section to the Editor of High Hatters—Frances Fairchild. IN a little box at the top of this page Frances Fairchild tries to explain that the High Hatter's Page is conducted mainly as a "fun" medium. But, somehow or another, the language just doesn't click—so here goes something else. To those of you who wish to use this page for the recording of things you deem important and would like to have printed, be it understood, that as editor of this page, Frances Fairchild relegates to the waste paper basket anything that smacks of "dirt." The Tattler happens not to be a scandal dispenser, and for those who have personal grievances against anyone, we would advise the Olympia A C. 24-foot canvas as a means to an end. If you don't get what Miss Fairchild means, take a walk into the office any day between twelve noon and twelve midnight. Perhaps she can get you "told" in a more convincing manner within the environs of her work place. ```markdown ``` GOTHAM HIGH HATTERS Somebody certainly likes Smitty Perkins, for each Monday morning finds an envelope on Frances Fairchild's desk with enclosures such as: It certainly looks good to see Josie Wallace and the little Smitty Perkins—inseparable pals—out together again. They certainly looked hot on the Avenue Saturday. And—Say, folks, would you believe that the little sweet Smitty Perkins stood up the president of a certain club on Friday night to go out with an out-of-town feller. Well, I never! --- And this makes interesting hearsay from one of our correspondents: Happened to be calling Bradhurst 4142 and the operator connected me on a busy wire. I overheard the president of the Osbiny Club telling a young lady that if she went to Washington, D. C., he did not see how he could have the boat ride without her. Now, can I depend on this, Harry? * * * The same party sends this in, although it is Greek to the Frances. But here goes, anyway: Say, Bertha Wade, it's a good thing you are not a man, otherwise we would think you were a Bluebeard. Choose between the hundred and pick out one. That's enough. --- Frances Fairchild really wants to know something, and anybody in the know would surely satisfy her curiosity by telling her whether Bernice Miles, the lovely brown child, is married. She is sporting a wedding ring, and it didn't come from Woolworth's. Another bit of information wanted: The whereabouts of one Ruth Carle. Since her return from Chicago, she seems to be lost in the wilds of 129th Street. Never-no-pine, Ruth. New York and its men compare just as favorably to Chicago. Really! The gorgeous little Goldie Yarborough and the plump little Mt. Vernon lassie, Emily Barlowe, did a little bit of burning up of Harlem on Sunday. Go. chippies! --- Gracious! One of the sweetest youngsters we've seen lately is Mabel Stephens. She is a brown child, too. What is wrong that M. M., referred to in last week's column, doesn't answer. You might be missin' somep'n. M. M. Don't be that way. To the Ace (K. W.) Someone has decided to send in a letter to the Lonesome Hearts. They told the Fances so, anyway. And the letter is to be addresed to you. ```markdown ``` Louis Minor and Bernard Barlowe are quite the things lately in Louis' new car. And believe it or not, these are two youngsters with IT and then some. Wish they would come around and give the Frances a ride one of these hot evenings. She quits working at 10:00 P.

Five dollars for the person telling a better joke than that. "Woodle," tell us more about this Saratoga Club affair. Is it to be every Sunday? We hope so. Harry Ross gave the boys a break. He left those ice cream trousers of his home. Perhaps because it was cloudy Sunday. Frances, why get angry at Claude because he called up Cuba's boss and said he was your old man (Father)?

Of course, she is a nice kid, but she is stuck on my boy Willis, and it makes me hot, for I kinda like her, you know. Well, some of the starch was taken out of me, but I had to go through with the ordeal. But that ain't all. When I got down there, I met the other broad of a few Sundays ago. Talking about a dilemma, well you can call it anything you wish, but I sure was in it. However, I did one of those high hat affairs—a blund smile and inquiry after her health, which met with not an inkling of approval.

I took it upon myself to enjoy myself, most much, regardless of the "Her," whom I couldn't find half the time, anyway. After all, she's a good kid, for she gave me several breaks.

Page Twelve THE INJERBVALTE VAI7 sw Al Brown’s Life Srory Reads Like 'Fsetton I" last Saturday’s -issue of the “Police Gazette,” the best known sporting publication in America, appears a won- derful story of the life of Al Brown, recognized Bantamweight Champion of the World. If you failed to secure a copy of that edition, by all means order one at once and read Harry Shelland’s gra- phic and gripping story of the elongated Panamanian, Not since the halcyon days of Sam McVea of Oxnard, California, has the French nation idolized a foreign boxer Al Brown. During the heyday of McVe accounted a member of that dread- ed “Big Four” of 1910, viz; Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Joe Jean- ette, and himself, vast crowds would follow in the wake of the polished Californian, shouting — “Vive McVea.” Brown is the toast of the gay Boulevardires of Paris, and througnout Continental Eur- ope he is accounted the best fight- ing man to show there since the days of Kid Lavigne, Jim Driscoll and Bobby Dobbs—which is say- ing plenty. His secretary and man- ager are kept busy answering the numeTous telegrams and letters that flood the office of Dave Lumi- ansky, former mentor of Chick Suggs. These messages are mute testimony of the great demand on his services abroad. Were he physically able and if the Boxing Commission would grant their permission in the vari- ous States, Brown might appear as often as three times a week (provided opponents could be dragged into the ring) in prac- tically every principal city of the east and middle west. The rise of the angular and terif- fic punching young Panamanian, reads more like fiction than truth. Panama Joe Gans and Kid Norfolk had more than a little to do with polishing off the rough spots that stuck out all over “Al” like warts on a hedgehog. : Good natured, ever smiling and pleasant, Brown would listen to the sage advice offered him by these fighters, and dosen’t hesitate today, when interviewed on the subject, to give full credit to them for their belief in him, assisting Al now that he wears the mantle of champ, and rightly enough feel- ing that he stands alone among the men of his division. It would be unpardonable for- getfulness not to mention at this point the great inspiration Will- fam Miller—Brown’s side kick, who travels all over Europe with him, much after the fashion that Jerry “The Greek” did Dempsey during the Manassa mauler’s hey- day.

S., whose question appeared in a previous issue of the Tattler.) 'Dear Miss Nobile-I have always thought and still consider it as the height of ridiculosity for a prisoner to write your column, asking intimate interest in himself by an 'intelligent,' 'refined,' or 'decent' woman. This seems so not because there are no inmates of penal institutions who adequately appreciate such women, but rather because of the unvarnished fact that prisoners are so placed as to make their overtures to women take on the cast of insult, certainly an offense. Before saying more let me except such prisoners who resort to your oculum with discrimination enough to ask from your correspondents only an interesting exchange of letters so as to have the pleasure of hearing from some one and thus keep in touch with the trend of things without. To men of this type in prisons such contacts are a veritable Godsend, and the fineness of your accomplishment in this direction, as well as the humainty of those whom you interest in this manner is a splendid thing; so splendid in fact that the actual value and charity (used in the broadest sense) can never be fully appreciated except by those who are recipients of such consideration. But to return to those prisoners who seek women as companions. It can only be said of these that their use of your column evinces not only a lack of delicacy and shame, but a decidedly cheap and unflattering idea of the aims andastes possessed by the decent Negro woman. Surely many among classes of prisoners have erred and are determined that the searing experience of being a convict shall serve as a barrier against future misdeeds; but it is indisputable that to seek to offer oneself to any woman on leaving a place of this kind, battered and discredited, ARE YOU Then Join the WASHING Receive lots of letters from DON'T GROW Write for inform POST OFFICE BOX 327 desired letters. Data written in pencil will not be considered. The Tattler does not assume responsibility for the good faith of correspondents. Address Jackie Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. without first trying to do something to prove one's good intentions is both an insult to and an underrating of every class of decent Negro womanhood. I am not moralizing nor preaching, but the letters from prisons seemingly have come from men who possess fairly good educations, and it would seem that it is only their selfishness which binds them to their own ridiculousness. The only thing which I can conceive of as being equally ridiculous with the class of prisoners criticised by me is my own act of writing to you, and yet I do so because (to me) in the issue of July 5th, your reply to 'W. S.' seemed not only inadequate and perhaps rightfully noncommittal, but irritatingly provincial (pertainly a gaucherie for the Tattler), and as well a disclaimer of interest in, to use your own words, "the boys from the inside.' Quite emphatically not! But you did end your advice to 'W. S.' by observing that her decision must be reached in accordance with 'one's bringing up.' Now the fact that the young lady is distressed to learn that the person with whom she has been corresponding is a convict shows her to be normally particular as to her friends and associates. Then it may be safely assumed that her reaction towards those who have not bothered to regard the moralities and rights of others is likely to be that of most other decent people—revulsion dictated by her 'bringing up.' Certainly you will agree that healthy broadmindedness and practical sympathy for those of our ilk are qualities peculiar to individualities regardless of their 'bringing up.' Of course one's 'bringing up' may make these attributes broader, more understanding, more subtle, but if one possesses them, one's 'bringing up' hardly will obliterate them. I said that your reply to 'W. S.' was inadequate, may I suggest a solution to her? For after all, if the fellow is inclined to appreciate the companionship of a decent and serious girl, it is quite plain that his values in every other thing have shifted in the right direction. To be turned down while in such a desirable state of mind would work ten different kinds of havoc at once. It seems to me that 'W. S.' should seek the answer to her dilemma in just how much she cares, the probable sacrifices she will be called upon to make in the way of relatives and friends, whether her sensibilities are equal to constant reminders of her friend's 'undesirability,' and of most importance, the worth of the person she has learned to care for. Then: First, remember that the man hardly could have sought to deceive, for in such institutions all mail is handled according to in stitutional regulations. Hence, the presence of that particular slip in the letter meant either that he took it for granted that all letters were so treated, or that a new system of mailing became effective between letters. This at last is something towards the fellow's good faith. Second, read over all his letters and try to find out just what kind of person he seems to be. This is admittedly a specious exhibit, but truth and sincerity must have an appeal of their own. Third why not write a confidential letter to the institutional Chaplain, honestly stating the matter and asking him to have a talk with the young man. This is rather a delicate proceeding but then, the Chaplain is used to prison types, judging degrees of worth and sincerity, and if the fellow is serious he will surely appreciate the girl's exhaustive steps of meeting him half way. Please don't think for a moment that I fail to appreciate the fine work and value of your column (one has but to read behind some of the finely human letters to you to see that many lonesome ones need and bless you); and if I have seemingly been harsh or impolite, just remember that criticism of others, even when merited, is an ungrateful task, and I have all the while been aware of this. I do wish you loads of success and many aided 'Lonesome Hearters,' but I maintain that the only excuse for being in a place of this kind is either that of being here falsely accused, or for having come for protecting one's life, honor, loved ones. Since I am here for none of these reasons, I feel that I can without blame say something on this subject of others of my excuselessness who dare seek companionships and then proscribe that these be 'refined,' 'respectable.' 'honest!' 'COBBLER.' P. S. I sign myself in accordance with the homely saying. 'Let the cobbler stick to his last.' But then, who wants to keep on being a cobbler? * * * (Here is another that comes to me without address and perhaps a name that belongs not to the writer.) "My dear Jackie— I heartily endorse the principles of the Lonesome Hearts Page. Find it quite lively, entertaining and of course quite capable of serving a very useful purpose. However, I must take exception to your placing the medium at the disposal of convicts. I can't see the good taste of the thing and I am altogether unprejudiced. Not that those compelled for their own or their country's good to undergo a period of incarceration are not entitled to consideration from a society whose rules and regulations they flouted, but this certainly is no way to show it; not if you intend to preserve the integrity of the page. I assert without hesitation that most of the ladies who read the page resent an implied readiness to consort with one who may really be a vicious character. God help her if she didn't! Now Jackie, I'd like to hear from a nice little girl, too. These are the specifications for the Ethiopian queen: Height over five ft., plump, not heavy, able to carry good clothes to advantage, bright, vivacious and a lover of good things of life. Can take a drink, dance well, smoke a fag, have it, and be a lady whom a gentleman can respect. She'll be adored, given the limit of love and perhaps something else for good measure! Color of skin no object, while she can dominate her surroundings. I? Age 34, six ft., 175 lbs., dark brown, gay, honorable, exacting lover of pleasure, excellent health, hard working, hard loving. Very easy to get along with." *(After the storm of criticism comes the sunshine of appreciation.)* "Hello, Jackie*—Just want to thank you for having someone to write me while in the hospital. It was really very nice of you to do such a favor." * * * "I just want to thank you for your kindness and tell you just what have done for me. The answer you gave me was one of the most encouraging that anyone could have given to a poor prisoner boy and did me more good than all of the five years I have spent in prison. It made me feel like life is worth living and will make me try to be a man, leading a clean and upright life when I leave here. If everyone had your thoughts and was as broadminded as you are. I don't think the prison would be half so full. Some of them in here are so easily led wrong that I believe they could be led just as easily into the right, if helped along by being led in the right way. Again I want to thank you for your blessing and hope you will realize just how happy I am." --- (The boys from the inside send out their appeals to whom it may concern.) "Would you assist me in finding a true lady friend? Would like to correspond with one between the ages of 30-35, with a little education; color doesn't matter. I am a hardworking man, quite seful at many things. My profession is a cook. My aim is to enter into business in near future after I have been released. Miss Jackie. I know you are in sympathy with my case of loneliness and will truly do your best to help me." * * * "Am very lonesome and despondent. Would like to meet a nice lady between 25-35 years, some one that would like to settle down and who would appreciate a man's kindness. If she has any responsibility like her mother or children. I would do my best to make her happy. She must be brown or very light, with nice hair, neat and would like for her to be an out-of-town girl. Am 30. red brownskin. curly hair. 164 lbs.. six ft.. like shows and balls. Time will be soon be up. Have a car and own a beautiful home. Am an Elk and a Mason. They tell me I am good looking. Through with the fast life." * * * "As I am lonesome I wish to have a nice girl between the ages of 19-24 to correspond with. Color doesn't matter as long as she is sincere. I am five ft. 8 inches in height. 165 lbs. At the present I am in penal servitude and would like some kind of consolation and sympathy from someone." *** "Only a line to let you know that I am lonesome. I am not going to ask too much. In my 24 years of life I have never had happiness. I hope it is not too late to try and find it. I am tall, 5 f. 11, not bad to look at. Am not choicey at all, so please look out for me. Am looking forward to a release in September. Not looking for a pal but a lifetime companion. Perhaps a widow if you have any looking for a friend." Page Fy1166 "I have six months to be here and my destination is New York City. That is where I want to live, where the people of my race are doing things. Would like to meet a nice girl or widow, 5 ft. 4 in., weigh 135 lbs., nice looking and above all must have an understanding heart and willing to take me at face value and give me a chance to show her that a man once fallen can come back and make good. I am sure she will never regret what she does for me. I want one of those sweet, motherly girls, because I never saw my own mother.

MULTIGRAPHING and TYPEWRITING AT CHEAPEST PRICES INTER-STATE TATTLER'S OFFICE 2294 SEVENTH AVENUE Phone: Edgecombe 6661 Miss Diana Barrett Making Wonderful Fight To Take Lead in Tattler's Contest The 4 F's Little Champion Is Making Determined Efforts To Oust Elizabeth Elzy As Leader Of The Tattler's Convention Queen Contest. Margaret Roberts Of Atlantic City And Laura Watson Are Among The Girls Who Add To Their Counts This Week. SPURRED on to greater effort by the sensational work of Miss Elizabeth Elzy and the Lucretia Social Club last week, Little Miss Diana Barrett, the standard bearer of the 4 F Theatrical and Social Club, polled sixteen thousand votes to give her the grand total of 125,000 votes and third place honors for this week. "I'm out to win and win I will. Yes, I know that it will require a lot of hard work but whatever is worth while in life that we get can only be gotten by hard work. So I am going to work to win and I don't mean maybe." This conscientious, hard working little lady has buckled right down to business and will leave no stone unturned to win the Tattler's big cash prize and the title of "Convention Queen." "If this Miss Elzy can jump from a place so far down, to the leadership, I can too. I'll regain the lead before the first of August and after that it will be all Diana Barrett," was her final statement prior to bidding us good-bye. But Miss Barrett was not the only young lady who visited us last week, with determination to win the big honors of this contest. The Misses Laura B. Watson, Mildred Pinder of Brooklyn, Cleo Sewell and Mabel Harris, came in with chips on their shoulders. Miss Watson said: "I do not intend to take second place behind any one. If any girl in this contest thinks she's going to win, tell her to see me. I want first place and the others can do what they wish with second, third and fourth money. I am going to win if I have to go from house to house and DON'T WAIT FOR WINTER'S ICY HAND ORDER COAL NOW! NO LONG WAITS DOBBINS COAL CO., Inc. 138th St. & Madison Ave. Harlem 4457—4458—4459 NO SHORT WEIGHTS work day and night," Miss Pinder, the energetic little worker from Brooklyn said: "I must get the votes. I have got no time to talk now, as I have quite a number of people to see today. But if Miss Elzy can poll 100,000 votes in one week, I know I can, too. New York girls have won every Tattler Contest, but this year, a Brooklyn girl is going to win and that girl is Miss Mildred Pinder," and with that broadside, she bid us goodbye as she left to keep her appointments. With four weeks left, the contest is waxing more thrilling and interesting each week. While Miss Elzy was able to maintain her lead, five young ladies are within easy striking distance and six others are well up and with a little effort, could take the lead. Miss Elzy has got to keep everlastingly busy getting votes if she is to maintain her lead over the field. She has twelve or fifteen dangerous contenders and she has got to keep working at full speed to win out in the final drive which is certain to take place the last two weeks of the contest prior to August 17th. These final weeks, beginning with next week, will be weeks of keen competition, hard, determined work. There's no telling what to expect of the six leaders. The race at this time is between the Misses Elizabeth Elzy, Constance Perdue, Laura B. Watson, Diana Barrett, Mildred Pinder and Margaret Rob- erts of Atlantic City. But the Misses Ruth Holloway, Cleo Sewell, Marie Jackson of Jersey City, Harriet Morris, Leitha Walker and Margaret Robinson, certainly cannot be counted out of the race. They are very, very dangerous and by getting four or more five-year subscriptions, would jump into the lead over night. In fact, this is true of almost any girl in the contest. Half a dozen big subscriptions would bring any girl in the contest well up with the leaders, no matter how far down she may be at this time. Ten five-year subscriptions would mean 250 000 votes and so far, not one of the contestants has even 200,000 to her credit. So it can be easily seen that the contest is really anybody's at this stage of the race. We also wish to call every contestant's attention to the rules below here, of this contest. Please, read them once again carefully and note the fifth paragraph. Every contestant must report to us at least once a week and turn over all money and subscriptions in her possession. Quite a number of complaints have been made by people who have subscribed and want their Tattlers. But some of the contestants have been holding the subscriptions back and this has caused trouble. Rules of 'Convention Queen' The contest started officially Monday, May 13th and will end Saturday, August 17, 1929. Only girls 16 or over can compete. No employee of the InterState Tattler or any member of her family can enter the contest. 2. Prize winners will be decided according to the number of votes obtained, said votes being represented by ballots issued in exchange for every subscription. In the event that more than one person receives the same number of votes necessary to win, each tying contestant will be awarded the prize tied for. Subscriptions may be secured anywhere by the contestants or her agents. Votes are free with subscriptions. Votes cannot be purchased. Votes are not transferable. One contestant cannot withdraw and give her votes to another person. Should a contestant withdraw from the contest her votes will be cancelled. 4. The Tattler will not recognize any statement or promise made by Contestant solicitor or agent varying from the rules published through the columns of the Tattler. It must be agreed by Contestant that Contestant is responsible for all money collected and that she will make full report of all money on hand once each week or on demand. 6. In case of any error or inaccuracies, typographical or otherwise, neither the Tattler or the Contest Editor shall be held responsible except to correct same.
